Chapter 7 Furong: Luofu, it turns out you are a pervert!
Luofu mentioned the Mayflower casually, just to send Gabriel away. Unexpectedly, the little girl was very interested, and pulled his arm, clamoring to listen.
Furong smiled inwardly, feeling that Luo Fu's lie was about to be exposed, but the young man looked calm and talked eloquently:
"The Mayflower was originally a Muggle ship. It carried a group of persecuted Puritans from Plymouth in 1620. After arriving in North America, they established a colony there."
After Fleur translated it, Gabrielle asked: "Where is Plymouth?"
Furong didn't help her sister translate this question because it was too simple and she could answer it.
With a little "prank" and "exquisite" mentality, the girl asked: "Gabriel asked you what is a Puritan?"
The Puritans are related to the history of Muggles. As a lover of the history of magic, Fleur went to look it up when she learned about this term, and finally found that it was a complete mess.
She didn't believe that Rolf, a pure-blood wizard, would know this.
Ralph glanced deeply at Fleur. He clearly heard "Plymouth", but how come she translated it as "Pilgrim"?
You know how to translate!
"If you want to understand the Puritans, you have to start with Christianity." The boy did not expose the girl. He coughed and said slowly:
"At that time, as the Roman Empire split into the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, the two dioceses took different paths. The west was gradually Germanized from the Latin tradition, and the east was Hellenized.
By the eleventh century, it finally split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church."
There are many reasons for this split, but to put it bluntly, they are still fighting for the right to speak. They want to be each other's father, rather than calling each other dad.
The result was that after a fight, both parties excommunicated each other from the church and then completely separated!
Along the corridor, the three of them passed by a large floor-standing pendulum clock. The white dial was inlaid with Roman numerals for timekeeping, and the long and short hour hands looked particularly sharp on the white background.
Luofu paused for a moment and continued softly:
"In the sixteenth century, another religious reform arose within Roman Catholicism."
"This religious reform began in Germany, initiated by Father Martin Luther, and quickly spread throughout almost all of Europe."
The trigger for the Catholic Reformation was also very simple, which was the high degree of corruption within the church.
In Christian doctrine, people are born with original sin and need to atone for their sins throughout their lives. Jesus was crucified on the cross to atone for everyone's sins.
Therefore, as long as you believe in Jesus, you can atone for your sins and be saved, and you will be called a "righteous person" by God at the last judgment.
In order to atone for sins, the atonement scroll was directly derived.
It first appeared during the First Crusade, when Pope Urban II, in order to strengthen the religious faith of the Crusaders, announced that all those who joined the army could obtain remissions of sins and punishments and release indulgences.
By the sixteenth century, the Atonement Roll had been abused and became an important means for the church to make money.
The Pope wants to build a luxurious church, but what should he do if he has no money? Then sell some indulgence scrolls!
Of course, how can the church use such a vulgar word as "buy and sell"? It has to be described as "voluntary donation".
For believers, if you want to atone for your sins, you have to spend money. The more you spend, the more faith you have, and the more the Lord will protect you... It feels like a deja vu, as if I am a Buddha who cannot survive without being in poverty.
Even in order to encourage poor people to donate money, the church will ask local wealthy people to donate first, and then they will pay 70/30.
All I can say is that what I say is doctrine, but my heart is all about business.
"In order to solve this problem, Martin Luther proposed 'justification by faith', that is, as long as you sincerely believe in God in your heart, you can be saved." Rove said in a steady voice:
"It doesn't matter whether you follow the church's rules, whether you buy indulgences, whether you complete expensive religious rituals..."
Although the churches were unhappy and even excommunicated Martin Luther, the ordinary believers were happy. After all, they really had no money... Therefore, Protestantism sprung up and grew stronger in Europe.
Fleur forgot to translate for her sister, but stared at Luo Fu intently, urging: "What next?"
Luofu glanced at the girl, raised his eyebrows and said: "Then...the religious reform caused the split in Catholicism and formed Protestantism. The Protestant sects were divided into Lutheranism, Calvinism and Anglicanism."
"Among them, Anglicanism became the state religion of England. Puritans were a branch of Calvinism and also spread in England, but were persecuted by Anglicanism, the state religion."
Furong let out a long sigh, nodded slightly, and began to think silently.
Gabrielle looked at her sister anxiously and tugged at her sleeves...Why don't you translate? What are you doing there?
I asked you to come here to be a translator, not to chat with Rove!
After Furong hurriedly translated it, she looked at the boy again and asked strangely: "They are all Protestants. Why did the Anligan Sect destroy the Puritans?"
Luofu's clear blue eyes were shining. He stared at Fleur and asked, "Is this Gabriel's problem?"
"..."
Fleur looked a little embarrassed for a moment. She concealed her guilt with a faint smile. After taking a few steps, she turned to Luo Fe and said, "Gabrielle really asked."
Luofu glanced out the window, shrugged and said:
"The Puritans in England demanded that the remaining Roman church rites be further purged from the Church of England.
If the Anglican Church is the reformed wing of Roman Catholicism, then the Puritans are the reforming wing of the Anglican Church, that is, the reforming wing of the reforming wing.
Such a sect will of course be rejected by the slightly conservative state religion."
When I was a reformist, of course I hated conservatives and accused them of being unprogressive and stubborn. But when I became a state religion, I began to resist the new reformists.
"So that's it!" Furong couldn't help but admire, silently impressing the young man.
Along the black glossy lacquered wood stairs, the three of them walked towards the restaurant downstairs. At the corner of the stairs, there was a marble statue, a tooth-white Greek goddess, as tall as a person.
Luofu looked at the statue of the goddess and continued: "Actually, the persecution of the Puritans has a lot to do with the wizards."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What's the relationship?" Fleur couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Luo Fu looking at her again, she blushed and said simply: "This is my problem."
"With the advent of the Reformation, the persecution of wizards...especially the persecution of witches reached a peak." Rove asked:
"You studied this part in the history of magic, right?"
Facing this boy who was two years younger than herself, Furong felt like a student, which made the girl a little unhappy, but she still nodded and said:
"Learned."
"Both Catholics and Protestants persecute witches, but the persecution of Puritans is particularly serious." Rove said softly:
"There was no Ministry of Magic at that time, it was called the Magical Parliament... The wizards in the Parliament united with King James I, and in turn persecuted the Puritans. In the end, the Puritans were forced to come to North America."
"On the Mayflower, there was a witch named Inso Seal. She disguised herself as a Muggle boy and secretly boarded the ship."
Luo Fu finally got to the point, he smiled and said:
"After Yinsuo Seer came to North America, he settled down and eventually established the founder of Yinfamouni Magic Academy."
"To commemorate this event, the Magical Congress of the United States of America later purchased the Mayflower and transformed it into a magic ship to serve as a shipping ship in Europe and North America."
Gabrielle tilted her head and said with admiration: "Wow, Rolf, you know so much, my sister doesn't even know this!"
Furong curled her lips and ignored the last sentence while translating.
However, the girl still objectively evaluated the boy as "proficient in Muggle history" in her mind.
After all, many pure-blood wizards are not even proficient in the history of magic. I didn't expect that Rolf could explain Muggle history clearly... It's really surprising.
Fleur was also very interested in history. She finally met a peer with the same hobby, so she curiously asked: "Rolph, are you very interested in history?"
"It's okay, I actually only understand it a little bit." Luo Fu said modestly: "In private, I only occasionally read history books."
"Then what are you interested in?" Fleur asked.
"Magical creatures."
"ah?"
"I'm actually a beast...ahem, healer."
"If you and Gabrielle get sick, you can also come to me for treatment and I will give you both a discount."
Luofu turned his head, looked at the half-breed Veela sisters up and down, and chuckled:
"Don't believe it, I have treated many students at Hogwarts, and I am known as an expert at rejuvenating them."
"..."
Furong looked at the blond boy with clean and delicate features, with mixed feelings, and silently deducted ten impression points from the boy.
Unexpectedly, he is still a pervert...taking advantage of girls in the name of treatment!
